Rear Quarter Panel Repair Ideas Options

The Eastwood product looks like it does the trick.

I recently bought one of those inspection cameras from HF (the pricer one with the camera head small enough to insert into a spark plug hole.) Should be easy enough to see inside the tunnel, but I'll need to find a good location to insert the camera head to take a peek inside longs. I'm almost certain that I'll need to spray 'something' in both places.

Do these oval openings allow full access into the long?

so the concensus is to - spray ospho into the long using a garden bug sprayer - and - then spray this eastwood's internal frame coating - a day or two later - ???

I like ospho and use it on almost everything BUT. If you leave a puddle and let it dry or a run when you paint over it, it will make a place that is hollow, it bubbles up, and will easily come loose later on. These places are sometimes hard to see till after the coating on top dries. On a 42 ford jeep I had put so much on while I was doing the whole tub, we decided to reblast it to get it nice and clean for the epoxy coat. I know on the inside of longs and places you can't get to this is tough though. I would suggest useing a air hose with a long blower to try and remove the puddles in the cavity, this might also get it in the gaps in the layers of metal between the spot welds. All you can do is try to do the best method you have available.

I haven't tried it but I bet there web sites on repairing unibody cars and re rustproofing the cavities. I know for a fact only high end shops bother with this.

Today, I cleaned up a nose section which will eventually be a donor for at least one headlight box.

I used a cheapy Walmart spray bottle to get the Ospho into the recesses where you can't quite reach below the headlights. Then, I rocked the section around to make sure the excess rolled into the varies crannies.

Wear a good respirator/filter if you go misting this stuff. It's not good for you to inhale.

For now, I'll probably just squirt some primer or paint over the converted rust which will keep it stabilized until I need to start working on this section.
